Just thinking to save money, and see you're local.
Not read whole thread though...
All the best with it.
I'd rather keep it in the hands of msd tbh as they have done all the work so far.
Cheers.

Can 100% appreciate that, just thinking if it wasn't overly specialised, a decent local place could get it up and running much cheaper, and it looks like you've spent a pound or two on it!

Incidentally, Is the fuel pump rewired on this car?

I would personally try a 10% standard TB and ISCV first, as at least if that works, you know your dealing with those components and thus an air leak caused by machining.

Interesting, as more often than not i see this problem on cars with fuel pump looms rewired. I would normally try:

1) Take a reading from the ISCV positive with engine running.
2) Then resisit it down to 12Volts.

This is only "IF" the problem goes away with ISCV unplugged.

It needs a high current resistor, i can post you one tomorrow if required.

Yes, if the iscv is unplugged it will sit on base idle and drive fine.
I will test this later.

Ok, ive seen this before with modded valves and somehow the valve is overdriven if the volts are above 13. They tend to go high when the pump is rewired. I dont honestly know what causes that issue, only how to fix it.

Above 13 when running?

Stu, would this cause problems with mine and Jason's cars? As we all (3 of us) have the same fuel pump looms, although Jason and I are on Closed Loop and Coilpacks, without ALS & LC, but still both have ISCV problems...

Mine will not idle from cold, only once warm?

Mates cossie (standard) had idle issues, diagnosed as ICV.
New ICV, and it's unplugged, idles better without.
Is this something that affects most of them?

Just seemed a waste of a Ł200 or so part to leave dis-connected
